Aaron Wan-Bissaka told how to become 'one of the greats' at Man Utd

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been told he can become one of the greats if he continues on his current trajectory at Manchester United.

Full-back Wan-Bissaka joined the Red Devils from Crystal Palace for £50million this summer and has impressed during the embryonic stages of his Old Trafford career.

The 21-year-old has played every minute of United's opening four Premier League outings - which have seen them beat Chelsea, draw with Southampton and Wolves and lost to Palace.

Wan-Bissaka has only had one previous full season in professional football, but former Untied hero Wes Brown reckons he has the tools to become one of the best players of all-time.

Brown told Paddy Power: “He’s been fantastic, probably the one signing for United who has been most consistent.

“He’s started every game, he’s got great athleticism and he’s good in the tackle.

“He’s come from Crystal Palace and people wondered if he’d be good enough for Manchester United and already from the first game it looks like he’s stepping up. He’s enjoying it and it’s where he wants to be.

“If he can carry on like that he’s going to be one of the greats in that position.

“He’s only young, he’s level-headed and everything he’s done, tackling, tracking back has been brilliant.

“I’ve even seen some of the better players not dare to have a go at him, they’re turning back and passing it.

“That’s the sort of player he is, no one wants to take him on because he’s going to go with everything.

“People say he slides in too much, but I think he times his tackles perfectly.

“When you have a player like that and people realise they can’t take him on, it’s an advantage to the team because they start playing back.”
